Becoming a Marriage and Family Therapist: From Classroom to Consulting Room

This text presents a state–of–the–art, evidence–based integrated model for supervision in marital and family therapy from the author of the classic Effective Supervision (Brunner–Mazel). It is structured in three parts: an introduction to the new model for family therapist education and supervision; a look at the skills required; and outlines of therapeutic sessions. Supervision is a ′hot topic′ across clinical psychology and psychotherapy, with research suggesting that supervision changes therapist behaviour – which affects client outcomes. A companion Web site includes assessment instruments, forms, and outlines to help new therapists with their meetings with clients.
